Isshiki-senpai, we're back!
Welcome back, everyone!
You all survived the camp from hell.
Good job...
Atatatatatata...
We're... back...
Soma-kun?!
You look... so much manlier!
The tasks must've been very challenging!
Owataaa!
Chew, chew, chew...
Tadokoro-chan?!
Is that really you?!
You're all kind of rough around the edges!
Shut up!
Huh?!
Boss!
Let's beat him up!
Polar Star
Yeah!
Quit being rude to your seniors.
I won't allow it!
Ibusaki-kun, your signature charming hairstyle's been ruined.
Scruff.
Come to think of it, where's Marui-kun?
I can't seem to find him.
This is the only thing we could find of him.
Rustle Rustle
B-But...
Marui-kun!
What?
It was a dream...
Today is the third day of camp.
I hope you're all okay.
No!
Start over!
Good, you pass the test.
You can clean up now, Tadokoro Megumi.
Thank you!
Get outta the way!
S-S-S-S-Sorry!
Nice work, Tadokoro.
You've still got some rough patches, but...
Not enough.
Still not enough.
Fine!
I have to improve my skills.
I have to!
Eggs Before Dawn
You'd best relieve yourself of the notion
that you can stay the queen bee forever.
Thank you for the advice.
I'll do my best to keep what you said in mind...
...as the prattle of the unwashed masses.
Today was another tough one!
I want to go pass out in my room already.
But we only have two more days left.
We might scrape by.
Oh?
Training Camp Training Guide
I don't see any time listed for lights out.
You're right.
Camp Day 3 Schedule (Group C)
Maybe it got left off by mistake.
Students of Totsuki Academy!
One hour from now, at 10 o'clock,
you will assemble in the banquet hall in your uniforms.
What?!
What the hell?
What a drag.
Wow, the herd's really thinned out.
Everyone's exhausted, of course...
What the hell could be going on at this time of night?
Yukihira!
Hey!
Don't be pulling off ridiculous stunts
like challenging an alumnus to a Shokugeki, you idiot!
How dare you risk leaving Totsuki
without settling the score with me?!
Who the hell are you?
That's my question.
Why do you guys know about our Shokugeki?
Everyone's been talking about it!
But wait, if Yukihira's here right now, that means...
No way! You won against Chef Shinomiya?
Did you?!
Nah, I blew it.
Huh?!
Really...?
So, can we stop talking about this?
No, explain!
What happened?!
Hey!
Look!
Erina-sama...
It's Erina-sama.
All eyes toward the stage!
We had all of you gather here for one reason, and one reason only...
To explain to you what tomorrow's task will be.
Tomorrow?
Why bother telling us that the night before?
The task will be to create a new breakfast menu
worthy of being served to guests at Totsuki Resort.
Breakfasts are the face of the hotel.
It is an important meal that starts the guests' day.
I'd like you all to suggest an innovative dish
Innovation
that will make a vibrant contribution to the breakfast table.
The main ingredient will be the egg.
We won't restrict the cuisine genre,
but the dish must be servable buffet style.
The judging will begin at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Make preparations so that you're ready for tastings by then.
Did I hear that right?
He meant 6 o'clock tomorrow evening, right?
No, he definitely said "morning."
W-Wait!
We have no time to waste on sleep!
You may spend your time freely until morning.
You can test recipes in the various kitchen facilities,
or get rest in your room.
I'll see you all again in the morning, then.
Dismissed!
No way.
I'm already in pieces.
My brain's barely working as it is!
Finally, a task worth competing over.
Just you wait, Yukihira.
Hm?
I'll deliver up the ultimate breakfast
of a traditional Italian egg dish that's been arranged using the Aldinis' expertise!
Huh, what's a the traditional Italian egg dish?
Um, you use cheese and vegetables with eggs, and—
Don't spill the beans, Isami!
Stop giving away our secrets!
Okay, let's get out of here!
Fine, fine.
Come to think of it, my transfer exam also featured eggs.
The main ingredient will be the egg.
Make one dish.
Here you go!
Doesn't this bring back memories, Nakiri?
D-Don't you dare talk to me like that!
A word of advice.
Don't make a low-class dish like last time
if you want to avoid embarrassment in front of the judges.
But you were eating it like you enjoyed the taste.
Huh? Who're you talking about?!
I told you, it was disgusting!
Erina-sama!
I've secured a kitchen.
Very well.
Let us go there, then.
Well, good luck wracking your nonexistent brains over this one.
Good day.
Um... are the two of you okay?
Fine, I'll show them what I've got!
Hey, Marui! Stand up!
We're all going to go back to the dorm together!
Polar Star!
Polar Star
Fight!
Yeah!
Y-Yeah!
What a quiet night.
It's very different from the typical scene during a task,
with yelling and such.
Indeed.
But more likely than not, the students are experiencing
even worse frustration right now.
I wonder if this'll work.
Maybe I'll try another seasoning.
This assignment is more punishing than I thought.
You're right.
You can't possibly go to sleep early
unless you have enormous confidence in your work.
I am retiring to bed.
Are you going to continue testing recipes?
Y-Yes.
I'm still only halfway done.
I see.
Finish before too long.
Erina-sama is impressive.
Pressure doesn't exist in her world!
Her royal bearing...
How worthy of admiration!
Oh, and one more thing:
tomorrow night, we'll play Sevens!
About the Old Maid game yesterday...
I was just... not exactly feeling my best.
Okay?
Y-Yes.
Erina-sama is impressive!
She is determined to be the victor in anything and everything.
How worthy of admiration!
Yukihira Soma...
I will reject your worth with my cooking.
I will show you
what an egg dish worthy of Totsuki is made of!
Is a buffet like one of those all-you-can-eat places?
I don't really know what breakfasts at luxury hotels look like...
But guess I'll give this a shot.
If you're talking egg dishes...
In Japanese cuisine, it'd be dashimaki eggs!
In Western cuisine, scrambled eggs sound about right!
Yum!
Self-Praise
It's delicious...
It is,
but this won't be enough.
A new menu item, huh.
That was interesting.
But vetoed.
Huh?!
Why, Dad?!
You said it was good!
Listen up, Soma.
We're a diner.
Our customers are going to Yukihira because
they want dishes they expect from a diner.
Making dishes that are way out there
won't do anything good.
I can't make a dish that's different just for the sake of being different.
I have to make a classic egg dish
that's worthy of being served in a luxury hotel.
An innovative dish that will make a vibrant contribution to the breakfast table.
I need an inspiration, something that adds an element of surprise to the dish...
I know!
I'm done!
This is the breakfast that's a culmination of the Aldinis' expertise...
Just you wait, Yukihira!
Wait till you see my ultimate dish!
Just go to sleep if you're done, Bro.
What should I do?
I have to decide on a menu!
Just make your own food, Tadokoro.
That's enough.
Your cooking reflects your hospitality!
Hmm...
Not everyone can eat a lot of food for breakfast,
so maybe I should hold back on the food volume...
Volume...
Right! I get it now!
Hey, you!
What?!
Okay, I think I have a clear image in my mind.
Let's start testing right away—
Whoa!
Who're you?
Hmm...
Looks like you'll make a pretty good dish.
Huh?
Oh, yeah?
Thanks.
Who is she?
Her skin and hair are snow white!
Tomorrow morning will be quite the show.
Good evening, then.
Ow...!
Hey, watch out!
Don't just stand there and get out of the way!
But you told me to stand here, Miss.
I also said to only do that when I'm trying to intimidate someone!
You're intimidating in a good way
when you're staying behind me diagonally!
Oh!
Where are they?
Where are your balls?
I forgot them somewhere.
I can't believe this!
They're good for intimidating people, too!
You're such a klutz!
Oh, I'm sorry!
What were we talking about?
Oh, we weren't really talking at all.
So do you know what you're making already?
Pretty much!
Good luck on your recipe testing.
Later!
What was that about?
That was Yukihira Soma-kun.
Despite all the rumors,
he doesn't seem to be anything special.
I can't believe he's planning to make that...
He must really want to fail this test.
The Following Morning
Test
Whoa!
Hall A
It's so large!
Hey, wake up.
Oh, sorry.
Oh, Tadokoro's here, too.
Hall A
Man Man Man Man
She's writing the "man" character again...
Oh, Takumi's here, too.
Yukihira!
He's saying something, but it's hard to hear him this far away.
I will win this time for sure!
Okay, so this is my spot.
Oh.
Hm?
Nakiri, guess we're right next to each other.
Y-Y-Y-Yukihira-kun!
We really run into each other a lot at this camp.
Why does he keep popping up like this?!
It's bad for my heart.
I guess this is my first time seeing your cooking at all.
Well, it's a golden opportunity to show him my superiority.
Yes, feel free to savor the gap between your and my cooking.
Huh?
Do you mean we should do a taste comparison?
Sure, but after the test's over, okay?
N-No!
That's not what I meant!
He doesn't get my sarcasm!
Well, let's do our best.
Are you planning to make some kind of soufflé?
Yup!
I'm going with an omelette.
I'm going to whip the egg whites into a meringue before cooking the dish,
so the omelette will have a special texture.
That's the souffle omelette.
An unexpected texture is one of the surprises a dish can bring, y'know?
What?
No, nothing.
Texture, huh...
Each of you is ready to present your dish, I presume?
I will now explain the conditions for passing the test.
First, I'll introduce the judges.
K-Kids?!
They are people who grow and produce ingredients for Totsuki Resort Hotels,
and their families.
Every year, they serve as judges at this camp.
I've informed them about theme being an inspired egg dish.
S-So many...
Their judging is quite accurate.
Thanks to you!
Tokuzo of the Chicken Egg
You may assume that I won't even touch anything poorly made.
Kosuke of the String Bean
Kyusaku of the Natural Cheese
These guys know their shit!
Know Their Shit
They're way too intimidating!
So scary!
Totsuki Resort's cooking and service staff will also join the judging team!
The steward of the service department!
Sakuma Tokihiko Steward, Totsuki Resort
There's even Chef Dojima's right-hand chef!
Sena Hiromi Sous Chef, Totsuki Resort
There are two judging criteria.
One is whether your dish presents an inspiration worthy of acknowledgment
by professional producers and staff.
The other is to prepare and serve more than 200 servings
within the next two hours!
200 servings, huh?
I see. There are men and women, young and old—a wide range in customers.
So they're providing an accurate reproduction of a breakfast at an hotel.
This challenge closely mimics a real-life situation!
Those who fulfill those two criteria will pass the test!
Very well, honored judges, please enjoy the breakfast!
May the judging begin!
Here it is!
Welcome!
Th-There you go!
Please enjoy!
Oh, how fragrant...
What is it?
It's a frittata.
An Italian egg dish, I see.
It's made with cheese.
It may be a bit boring as a breakfast dish, though...
Not at all.
I'll be serving my frittata to you as a salad!
I'll break the frittata into pieces...
and toss them with vegetables!
Once I sprinkle balsamic vinaigrette and Parmesan cheese...
it's done!
It's the insalata frittata.
"Insalata"?
That means salad, right?
Wow! It's delicious!
The texture of the fluffy eggs and the crisp raw vegetables!
It all comes together in your mouth with the light balsamic vinaigrette...
Amazing!
I've never eaten a salad like this!
Grazie!
U-Um...
P-Please come if you'd like.
It's single-bite breakfast oden!
What? Oden?
Hmm...
Not to mention, this is a quail egg on the skewer!
Hmm, I see.
Chicken eggs aren't the only eggs available...
That's her angle.
Gushhhhhhhhh
What a comforting taste!
With every bite, the mild broth fills your mouth.
The vegetables were cut to match the quail egg's size.
They're so colorful that you can't resist picking them up!
Will you marry my grandson?
What?!
Er, um...
What?!
Hall E
This is cool.
A loco moco donburi at a buffet, huh.
Hmm...
Loco moco typically uses a gravy sauce,
but this one is using sauce vinaigrette!
The light acidity of the white wine vinegar
is heightening the creamy texture of the yolk
and the juiciness of the meat!
This is a very fortifying dish.
Well done!
Yeah!
I could leverage the recipe I tested in Don RS.
It'll be a piece of cake to make 200 servings!
Have we met?
Huh?!
You?!
Oh!
You're one of Erina's lackeys.
Oh, but I haven't seen you around recently.
Oh, I see.
Did Erina decide you weren't worthy of her?
Shut up!
I'm gonna beat you up!
Fume Fume Fume
Oh, my apologies.
Hm?
What's with her dish?
A boiled egg... Another unshelled egg...
And a raw egg cracked onto the dish?
That's a dish?
None of the guests are going near her booth.
What's she thinking?
Hall A
Here.
It's Eggs Benedict.
What beauty!
They're like brilliant jewels!
Eggs Benedict...
The dish consists of an English muffin topped with poached eggs and bacon and such,
then topped with a slightly acidic hollandaise sauce.
It's a mainstay in American breakfast menus,
but nothing one would consider new.
What's innovative about this item?
The poached egg melts on your tongue and is perfection itself...
The hollandaise sauce has such a refined acidity...
The bacon is crisp,
and the muffin has a subtle sweetness...
The perfect harmony of all these flavors envelops the tongue.
No, that's not the only thing...
What is this brilliant golden powder?!
Dried mullet roe?!
She sprinkled dried mullet roe powder on the muffins?
I see... fish roe is also a type of egg!
The refined saltiness of the roe
came together with the chicken egg yolk
to produce this deep flavor...!
A restaurant in New York serving Eggs Benedict
has been praised as the "queen of breakfast."
This dish is indeed worthy of being considered at the same level.
The taste is enough to make you kneel!
But of course.
Wonderful...
I'm melting...
Erina-sama...
Eggs Benedict-sama!
Nakiri Erina 200 Servings
Nakiri Erina!
200 servings, complete!
She's fast!
But I'm right behind her!
What about Yukihira?!
Halfway there!
What about Soma-kun?!
What's wrong?!
Yukihira...?
No way!
He's still at fewer than 10 servings!
